The worship service was packed this morning, more so than normal which always makes for a great time of singing to the Lord. It’s always a privilege to lead the God’s people in song.
On Thursday night Brian suggested we try doing the first set as a medley flowing from one song to another which is not something we normally do, but I was game. We worked out the transitions, and practiced them. This morning the first one was a bit rough but it worked, we hadn’t anticipated the clapping at the end of the song; I had intended to hang on the D and let it pass; Brian had other ideas an started the song, so I joined in and everything worked out just fine. It reinforced to me how important it is to listen to each other.
This was our second Sunday with Before the Throne and I have to admit the song is really growing on me; rich lyrics and a great arrangement means this song will see regular use.
We pulled Brad off the Drums to play the mandolin for Amazing Grace. Ted and Susan had some nice harmonies going at the end as we returned to the first verse for an accapella end. Since we hadn’t done the song for quite some time, we got a great heartfelt congregational response. It made for a strong uplifting finish.
